You may not be wrong that people do say it, I'm sure people say pretty much anything, across this vast planet. Yet people use double negatives, when meaning the negative too. Doesn't make it right.

You can't even compare the reputation of CNN and Al Jazeera.

You can't also compare the interest of US and Israel in manipulating public with any other country in the planet. US & Israel plays the game dirtiest, does false flag attacks, kill children and mothers carrying white flags, bomb hospitals and families of journalists.

Qatar does not do any of these and do not need to manipulate you. US and Israel have to keep manipulating you, because as citizen, you need to be a part of the crime.

Just like in Nazi Germany.

I have a recent ADHD diagnosis (M 21 / from Germany) and this apparent social media trend of having ADHD makes it very hard for me to get taken seriously with my diagnosis.

I'm very sure that my diagnosis is right (they even talked with my primary school teachers and I respond very well to the meds), but I still get these moments of self doubt / imposter syndrome in which im thinking, that I might just have made this up to trick other people and lift some responsibility from myself.

Show HN: I struggled with business plans for my startups so I built AI generator
Hey HN,

I’m Alex, an indie hacker and digital nomad. Since 2013, I've started a couple of dozen startups (most of them died at the idea stage) and applied to VCs, incubators, and accelerators. They all required a business plan.

As a tech guy, I struggle even with writing documentation for my code, so writing business plans was always a huge issue.

I tried doing it myself, and I even hired freelancers (which was very expensive for me at that time).

Everything changed when ChatGPT was released.

I built an AI business plan generator so every tech person can now easily write a business plan and apply to VCs or incubators.

Yesterday, I launched the second version, which includes a Notion-like block editor, custom PDF & Word exporters, and much more.

The stack is simple: NextJS + NodeJS + MongoDB. The first iteration used the Completion API. Then I switched to the Assistant API.

Please feel free to share your feedback so I can make it even better and help you build a business plan.

Thank you,
Alex
There are many people who believe that something outside themselves is more important than their own personal happiness or even basic sustenance/stability. Whether that’s something to be admired, damned, or merely observed — it would seem Vitali made choices for reasons worth it to him, personally.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I had not really thought my question through .. I'm going to set aside some time to experiment with your project in my own MS Flight instance, and see how far I can take my understanding of things without getting on your radar. ;) I appreciate the patience it took to explain my dumb question, in hindsight it of course all makes sense.
I would love for a middle-ground to emerge - plain-text emails with rudimentary formatting and ability to inline images. Something like markdown/asciidoc would be fine for overwhelming majority of cases. Unfortunately we ended up in a world where HTML email is a commonplace…
> How is it that SpaceX was able to accomplish the same thing in a fraction of the time, esp considering Boeing has been building aircraft for a century?

Two factors, IMHO. First and biggest one is by being a private company operating on its own budget authority. Basically, SpaceX was free to work in whatever way they wanted - a 180° turn from "established" practice both at NASA and ESA and the political decision makers that the billions of dollars of expenses had to be distributed across the continent fairly to help politicians get reelected. That means instead of dealing with shit tons of suppliers, wasting insane amounts of money on tenders, specification documents and whatnot, SpaceX went in-house for as much as they could, in very very few locations on top of that to save on shipping.

The second one is ossification. Boeing, Airbus, EADS, the major carmakers - they all got big by perfecting (sometimes centuries) old designs by iteration: airframes, cars, combustion engines, rockets, you name it. Straying from the beaten path comes with very high internal risk for anyone involved, and so very little true innovation happens. SpaceX in contrast operated on a green field - a ton of money and a general attitude of "you're free to do whatever the fuck you want, and failures are expected along the path".

Eventually, no doubt there, SpaceX and Tesla will both ossify as well, it's a trap for any large organization - and we're seeing signs with Tesla already, with attention going to the Cybertruck instead of getting the issues with existing models (e.g. fabrication tolerances, spare part availability) under control first.
Hey HN,

Another use case for the business plan generator is idea validation. You can generate a business plan for your startup and see how it fits the market.

Thanks,
Alex
Doesn't seem as if the public broadcasters are doing such a fine job, if their viewers obviously don't even know the definition of a fascist.
caniuse is an extremely popular website among people that had to touch web technologies, so much that almost anyone searching for issues on web apis seriously will have hard time not stumble upon it very quickly.

That is something I could never understand, and I have at least 20 year of GEZ adventures.

Back in Portugal, we took the approach that radio tax is part of the electricity bill, and when TVs came to be, the radio tax became TV tax as well.

Nothing else, doesn't matter how many people live on the household, if there are Internet devices, radio on the car, whatever.

Same applies to the church tax, everyone pays, it is part of the taxes and no one else, besides the state gets to see how much it is in practice.
Lots of words to explain that buybacks are nothing important, that they are the same as dividends... Without addressing why, if it is "the same", do those companies do it so much.

The Obstacle is the Way - Ryan Holiday

Holiday, in most of his books, makes stoic philosophy relatable and gives examples of we'd be familiar with in modern day. It's a fairly easy read, and I gift it the most as well.

As a software engineer, I found his less popular book Perennial Seller to also be very good. It describes his writing style, which honestly is very similar to coding, but also talks about his approach to marketing his books, which drives the content.

> build defenses

Um, the Russians are building defenses. Take close note of their captured territory - this is the buffer zone that they think they need, whether you agree or not, to safeguard themselves from NATO forces they do not trust one bit. And, given NATO's war crimes over the last twenty years, that distrust is entirely warranted from the perspective of anyone capable of objectively looking at the map of world war and calamity, so far this century [0]...

> no one is particularly afraid of invasion from other countries

The Syrian people are not exactly throwing roses at the armed forces which occupy 1/3rd of their sovereign territory (the oil fields), which is clearly intended to deny them the resources they need to rebuild their state... Afghanistan didn't particularly like being invaded and occupied for twenty years.. Iraq is still resisting its invaders.. Yemen is fighting for its own territorial sovereignty against a known fascist totalitarian-authoritarian dictatorship which is being armed and supported militarily by .. you know who ..

The world is not visible through one set of lenses. You have to wear them all to understand. I don't justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine - but I can certainly understand why the Russians think they can justify it, in light of the hate-filled rhetoric that has been leveled against them for decades, by .. you know who ..

Would you tolerate it, as an American, if Russia put secret weapons-related bio-research facilities on your borders along Mexico, and if Mexico had structured its armed forces to be aligned with Russian military planners, preparing to "contain and control" the USA? I don't think so.

Anyway, none of this changes the fact that these wars utterly suck, there is too much money being made in the slaughter of men on both sides, and we, the people, are powerless to do anything effective about the failing world diplomatic efforts while we continue to be willfully ruled by our own war criminals and overlook their very real, heinous crimes, just because "they are on 'our' side"...

Yup, and it's called “Baumol's Cost disease”.
(author here) From what I've read, other than documentation saying they shouldn't be pooled, is that by disign they are meant to run and then get garbage collected. There's also some overhead in managing the pool. If someone has a deeper understanding of virtual threads I'd love to know why in more detail.

As to why use a semaphore over a thread pool for this implementation? A thread pool couples throughput to the number of running threads. A semaphore lets me couple throughput to started tasks per second. I don't care how many threads are currently running, I care about how many requests I'm making per second. Does that make more sense?

"Not only is this JIT-compiler just 8 lines of code, it is also 20 times faster than invoking GCC or Clang on a roughly equivalent piece of C code."

So about as fast as TinyCcompiler (tcc)? Which produces faster code (in the context of HPC, elegance and ease of development takes a backseat to sheer performance, methinks)?
Generally, a party has successors that would benefit from the contract.

But without seeing the contract, we don't really know. Perhaps it only bound the original publisher, and not the author, but some other contract had bound the author to only publish through that publisher, and that publication contract is no longer in force. Who knows, the article doesn't tell us.
Or, if you want to save the output to a log file:

Quite the opposite. Any conversation remotely related to mental health == "see a therapist". No need to frame things as mental health topic, most of the time you don't need someone who is a expert in psychoanalysis to help people, you just need to listen to people, show some empathy and be generous with your time. Of course, it is easier said than done.

I've had to many conversations where trying to establish some depth and personal connection results in being shunted to "see a therapist/medical professional/lawyer". As if those are plenty, accessible and affordable.
Like everything in the health world it's a spectrum isn't it. Where you draw the cutoff for something being a disorder and needing intervention is super subjective. Probably something where too much talk doesn't necessarily help, as it seems to dilute that threshold over time.

I guess that's just it, it's a spectrum and even "normal" people can be somewhere on it. And decisions about diagnosis or labeling etc should be taken based on degree of impairment to functioning.

Saying that, we really do want to make kids aware of mental health issues (the same as health in general). I really could have benefited from an education about OCD, as it took me more than ten years to understand why I struggled so much.
The constraints of today would be much worse. I'd go so far as saying that making even Kubricks version today would be impossible.
Looking at how mental health was treated before the 80s-90s and that you easily lost control over your life. It's understandable not disclosing serious mental health problems. Personally I didn't disclose my bipolar diagnosis for 20 years because of prejudice like yours. It's not that you don't recognize mental health issues; it's that often people with your mindset don't believe that others are truly sick because they are acting otherwise "normal".
But it also has been extremely volatile over the lifetime. And quite volatile at all points.
I know posting "I agree" is not generally welcomed on here, but ChaCha8 is really underappreciated as a MCMC/general simulation random number generator. It's fast, it's pretty easy on cache, and it won't bias your results, modulo future cryptanalysis.

> clearly, it's not working if a website like this is even required. you say it is HTML compatible, then continue to tell me things in HTML are not valid for use. you say it can use CSS, then continue to tell me all of the valid CSS that cannot be used. so I'd suggest s/working/working*/ and then define the caveat as required.

That is not the point though.

The point is that the vast majority of people prefer transactional / marketing emails in rich formatting. They understand them better, they prefer interacting with them, it results in a better overall user experience.

Who creates all those transactional / marketing emails in HTML? Developers. Plenty of them.

All of them are in a difficult situation because writing HTML for sucks. It REALLY sucks. Tools like this one help them (the developers!).

Not using HTML emails is not an option in this field. It will never be as long as the average user (AKA the average customer) responds well to rich formatted emails.

From the article

> Go aims to help developers write code that is secure by default. When we observe a common mistake with security consequences, we look for ways to reduce the risk of that mistake or eliminate it entirely. In this case, math/rand’s global generator was far too predictable, leading to serious problems in a variety of contexts.

> For example, when Go 1.20 deprecated math/rand’s Read, we heard from developers who discovered (thanks to tooling pointing out use of deprecated functionality) they had been using it in places where crypto/rand’s Read was definitely needed, like generating key material.

I made exactly this mistake in rclone. I refactored some code which was using the Read function from crypt/rand and during the process the import got automatically changed (probably by goimports when mixing code which did use math/rand) to math/rand. So it changed from using a secure random number generator to a deterministic one rclone seeded with the time of day. I didn't notice in the diffs :-( Hence

So this change gets a big :+1: from me.

Light doesn't suddenly become free to travel anywhere inside the event horizon. At least not with our current understanding of general relativity.

The issue was that the game was sold in more than 100 countries where the PSN is not available.

This was not mentioned anywhere on the game steam page nor in game, since the PSN link process was fully disabled.

So people played for more than 2 hours (which is valve’s refund limit). And when the news broke out, they realized they couldn’t create a PSN account.

That was the real trigger of the outrage.

> The reason HTML doesn’t work well in email is because of bad prioritization, which has led to kludge upon kludge.

Honestly the main reason is that HTML/CSS expanded well over the creation of documents into the creation of apps. Email content does not really need all of that, it will always only support a subset of that causing confusion.

That said, the lack of standards is definitely the worst aspect of all of this and resulted in the current absolute chaos
I think language is defined by real-world usage, not by the logical structure that we theorise underpins it. If so, double negatives actually are right, or at least they can be, if they successfully communicate meaning.
I'm not sure if that's true. In my country, most towns don't have a highway that run through them, and there are no calls to change that. People like easy access to the highways, but that means easily getting out of town to get to the highway.

Nobody actually moves next to the highway - it's mostly workplaces that are next to the highway so that employees can easily get to it. Businesses that have regular people visit as customers, however, are where those customers are, which is where they live and walk around.
